Kindle ereader here, was a bit dubious at first. But after getting one havent been back to the library, the amount of books i have read is greater as i can get them with a couple of presses of a button. I didnt get the touch cos it seemed to lag to me. Plus the buttons to turn the page is great position when lying in bed. where most of my reading is done.

Dont regret getting one at all. I have only ever paid for about 6 of my 50 books so far.

I've had my Kindle since they first became available to Australia over 3 years ago. I haven't bought or borrowed a novel since. So yeah, I love it. I love the portability, the ease of buying new books, the fact that all books are the same size, the fact that they take up NO space at home. I still love my reference books and my big photography books but for novels, which I always got as paperbacks, read once then gave away, the Kindle is fantastic.

And you can write notes, it has a fantastic notation feature, you just start typing at the point in the book that you want to refer to and it saves and numbers it as a footnote

My DH however loves it. No more lost library books, having to buy a book practically every week and now our house are literally drowning in paperbacks (and also no more reading my copies and dogearring them). He also loves gadgets in general.

I love my ereader (Sony). It's light, I take it everywhere in even my smallest bag. Plenty of books in case I finish one unexpectedly. I have a cover with a light so that I can read in bed and not disturb DH.

I do have a few books that I will keep, and there are still a few that I've wanted that I haven't been able to get in electronic format, but overall, it's fantastic!

Love my kindle. I much prefer holding it rather than a clunky cumbersome book. And I love how everything is at your fingertips, you decide you want to read a certain book and can download it straight away. It is so much easier to hold while in bed too.

The only thing I dont like about the kindle is that my local library doesnt have the kindle format for borrowing. But i am told they will in the next year or so, fingers crossed. So if you borrow a lot of books, ring up your local libraries and see if they have ebooks for borrowing, and find out which format they are in.

I have a Kobo - have only downloaded books from the Kobo store. It was a choice of either buy a bigger house to accommodate more books, or get rid of half my collection, or stop buying new ones (as if!). It's great - especially for going away where I used to have to limit myself to just one or 2 books, and would always end up buying something overpriced at the airport.The only problem I have is that you generally can't use them on take off and landing in aeroplanes - so I still have to have something printed!

I like that my decidedly unfashionable coffee table is covered with about 8 books I am reading at the moment, the latest being my latest Lonely Planet guide. I cannot imagine my Lonely planets via e reader!
